This is a book I always recommend to people. It's a quick read and it's something that if you re-read it you'll find new things you'd missed. I loved the writing style the most. It felt odd and off centered and kept me wondering if the characters themselves were even human at times. The POV of the past and present characters, even as they revealed the sources of the mystery, still made me wonder what was really going on. By the end there was no grand reveal to explain everything that was happening. Only more questions. Which I loved!… (mais)

While I found the podcast riveting for use in the classroom, this book felt slow-paced and surprisingly bland for being about the roots of a mysterious cult and group disappearance. Perhaps I was not the intended audience, but I do not recommend.

it’s a no from me

i’m so disappointed in this lul. i didn’t mind season 2 of the podcast like most people did so i assumed my experience with the book would be the same and i was WRONG. the story is ...? not pointless but i generally didn’t care for most of it. the last 25% of the book opens up plot holes in the podcast and honestly it makes podcast lea look like an IDIOT. the last 10 minutes of the audiobook was just a whirlwind of overcompensating and connections.

i didn’t like this. the history of what leads to limetown was interesting but i didn’t like the way it was told.

unlike the promo from one of the creators on EVERY episode of the podcast, this is NOT essential to the podcast whatsoever.

I listen to a great number of books - but I also enjoy podcasts. One of the podcasts I have lined up to listen to is Limetown. But - there's a newly released audio book prequel called Limetown, written by the original creators - Cote Smith, Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie. So, I decided to listen to this audiobook first before delving into the podcasts.

From Simon and Schuster:

"From the creators of the #1 podcast Limetown, an explosive prequel about a teenager who learns of a mysterious research facility where over three hundred people have disappeared - including her uncle - with clues that become the key to discovering the secrets of this strange town."

I love stories like this - the unexplained, investigative journalism, conspiracies and more. Teenager Lia Haddock is the lead character. Candice Thaxton reads this characters. She's a favorite narrator of mine. She has such an expressive voice and interprets the books she reads very, very well. Her intonation rises and falls in a unique way.She emphasizes and depicts much with her voice. Her voice is also clear and easy to understand. And her voice matched the mental image I had created. Jacques Roy(another favorite) read the male roles - the missing Emile, Jack and more. He has a lovely measured pace of speaking that draws the listener in. He captures scenes of emotion and action with that same lower tone, but with urgency. Again, he's easy to understand and pleasant to listen to.

Listen carefully - the plot is fairly intricate and moves from present to past until the two catch up with each other. I was immediately drawn into the story. With this background, I'm looking forward to starting the podcast.
